How to support pipe?

You're probably right as I've had to replace the elbows in the last 10 years at least once as the sun weakens the bend and the plastic cracks, causing the o ring not to seal correctly.

The thing is I can do push fit easy but solvent welding might be a little more skillful, so to speak. I'm sure I could do it but the inside is push fit as well so I've just continued the trend outside.

The job is done now and it only took 15 mins or so to do the actual pipe, cutting as well because I bought a ratchet pipe cutter from the rain forest that worked like a charm.

The hard bit was the girlfriend wanted new pipe clips as the old ones had gone grey (white pipe, black clips from buying the house!) and yep, the new clips weren't a perfect match for the hole locations so had to get my drill out and drill new holes etc.

So probably about an hours work in all due to having to move a crap load of stuff to get to my drill and it not being an SDS type one for brick drilling.
hah when i did downstairs every old pipe clip, the screw head snapped off with rust when I tried to undo them, so similarly easy job involved more time and the drill. well done on yours though :)
